Well, we're on the road again...takin' the midnight train to Georgia...you get the idea.That's right, we're moving! Again!
After 4 years of living it up in the Big Apple, we have decided it is time to change fruits and move to the Peach State. I have taken a job as the Director of Production for the Atlanta Ballet and start after Labor Day. Elizabeth will become a telecommuter, keeping her current job and working from home in Atlanta via the internets. All of them. She will spend a few days a month in NYC, but will mostly enjoy the opportunity to work in her bathrobe whenever she decides to. For Carter, it means grandparents, aunts, uncles, and the southern upbringing he was meant to have. (P.S. It also means he is leaving an uncle and aunt(s) in NYC to much heartbreak, but hopefully there will be much travel in all of our futures...).
Wait, did I say "home?" Yes, I did. We are in the process of searching for, and eventually, buying, our first home. We have a real estate agent and everything. It is very exciting. We are spending this coming weekend seeing as many houses as possible and hopefully making an offer on one so we can be ready to move by the end of September. The month of September will be tricky with me working in Atlanta and Elizabeth staying in NYC with Carter (and his daycare), but it will be worth it so we can move directly into our new home (at least that is the current plan!).
We will post more as the house hunt develops and the move progresses. Wish us luck!

Congrats! I know you will LOVE being back in the South altho Atlanta is way too BIG for me. Good luck with house hunting - at least I now get two for one when I go to Atlanta and hopefully that will be more often than I got to NYC! Be sure to get a guest room! Love Bronwyn & Ron
